So, I thought today was just going to be a storm.
Man was I wrong. it was more like a hurricane.
Crashing about and destroying everything in its path.
The last minutes with my girls came fast and hard.
And I just couldn't keep the tears back.
I got about fifty letters from the eight of them and they are all so precious to me. When they started to tear up, I promised them I would come back.
And dear lord I hope that happens.
Because look at them.
Simple solution: You can't.
And tomorrow I have to say goodbye to my Bomani girls and few boys.
And I just cannot say goodbye to them forever.
Cannot.
It's more of a see you later.
But it's still hard.
I will never know, until seeing them again, what will happen to them throughout the year.
I really could never see them again.
It's amazing to me how kids can capture your heart the way these kids captured mine.
It's been quite the few days with these kids and I will never forget them.
They made my days with them so memorable and so full of life and happiness.
We sang and played games and they did their vbs thing and found me right away after it was done.
All I have to do is look at them and a smile is across my face:)
They asked me to pray for them.
Not for themselves, but for pretty much everyone but themselves.
For their mom, who is having a hard time taking care of all her children.
For their friend who is having family troubles.
For their siblings who don't go to Bomani or Vipingo and hardly get anything to eat.
For everyone but them.
I can't stand to look into their eyes sometimes, because of all the pain I se in them.
And it cuts deep.
Really deep.
I so wish I could post all of the videos I have of the girls singing because they are just too precious.
Meet the Vipingo crew:)

Their smiles just make me want to laugh and cry all at the same time.
To see how incredibly happy they are about everything that their life brings/offers is a beautiful thing.
They live in houses that look like this
Yet their faces look like this
Because simply put, metaphorical hurricanes will destroy all the stuff in this world.
And stuff doesn't matter.
God does.
And he can never be destroyed.
